Undergraduate tuition for resident students at the University of Northern Iowa and Iowa State University will remain at the spring 2016 level for the 2016-17 school year.

Tuition levels are dependent on legislative and gubernatorial approval of the regents' funding request. The board agreed to request a 4 percent increase for general university operating support during its September meeting.

Regents President Bruce Rastetter said he would recommend a tuition increase review if the board does not get additional funds.

The board also approved a $500 tuition increase for international students at Iowa State University.
